We’ll write more about this in a future issue of the Fatale Media Blog, but we want to clarify what we mean by “queer porn,” which is at this point mostly lesbian but not 100%.

Some of you have asked, for example, about Roulette by Courtney Trouble , with it’s boy-boy scene smack dab in the middle of the lesbian scenes.

Queer Manor, the new DVD by Madison Young, however, is by our definition pure lesbian. Don’t be fooled by the title.

We went to Courtney Trouble and asked her how she defines queer. Here’s what she said:

“Queer Porn can be any combination of boys, girls, transfolk and genderqueers, doing any combination of things, be it sweet, romantic, vanilla, kinky, experimental or rough. Queer is a word used by those whose sexuality does not fit so easily with what society has given us to choose from. For instance, I don’t fit into a lesbian description because I am attracted to more than just women in my sexual fantasies and in my daily life.

“As well, I don’t feel ‘bisexual’ because I like more than two gender identities. I try to mix a little bit of everything into my films, proving that the diversity of desire is more than just LGBT, and sometimes, who we are does not dictate what we watch to get off.”

Stay tuned for more from Courtney Trouble, director most recently of Seven Minutes in Heaven: Coming Out .

As Thanksgiving approaches, we’ve been mulling over this past year with a sense of amazement and even hope.

Fatale picked up some major kudos this year – “Sexiest Dyke Movie” at the Feminist Porn Awards and honors in “Hot ’n’ Heavy” from Curve magazine.

Plus, WIA – Women in Adult did a nice Q&A profile on Nan.

Last time we told you that Nan had an operation, her first ever. She is now doing much better, healing. Thank you for your well wishes.

The love and the wild sex and sense of discovery go on, and that’s what really gives us hope. We’ve discovered the fine work of Courtney Trouble and watched as Madison Young has come into her own.

Speaking of these two maverick dykes, we have a new lesbian title for you:

Queer Manor by Madison Young is a standout. Beautiful, stylized, sexy as anything we’ve seen, this new DVD by the illustrious Ms. Young is worth watching…again and again and again.

Read more and see pictures.

Till next time, yours in good love and sex,

Okay, I went for a long walk thinking about the battle for Marriage Equality in Maine and here is what I came up with.

I think we should have votes all over the country on who is allowed –or required–to get married.

Should people who have no intention of having kids be allowed to get married?

If you have at least three kids are you required to marry? There are a lot of GLBT families who want to adopt kids and plenty of unwanted pregnancies heading toward abortions. Are the hellfire Christians just too proud to admit that we are here, we’re queer, and we can solve that problem?

A mandatory marriage mobile will arrive at the houses of randomly chosen single straight people (can’t tell you bland folks apart) for your required nuptials where we will decorate, cater, arrange the flowers and play great dance music for the reception. Seriously, is there anything gayer than a wedding?

Are celebrities allowed to marry more often than every three years? I think we should vote on who marries Britney, Angelina and Clooney next.

Should boring people be required to marry each other to get them off the cool singles scene?

Are ugly people allowed the same civil rights as those of us who are charming? Who decides if you are ugly?

If you can walk down the aisle in high heels and look hot in a veil, can you legally be declared a bride no matter what gender is listed on your birth certificate?

Nan lounging in our D.C. hotel room

As you may or may not know, Nan had surgery last month, and she’s recuperating just fine. She had her foot operated on just exactly a month ago, and this week she took her first long walk sans cane or crutches. Yippee!

We went to Washington, D.C., to see Christi’s sister and her wife. What a fabulous party! Even though Nan couldn’t dance, there was plenty of dancing. Christi’s aunt “chair-danced” with Nan, and a good time was had by all.

New lesbian DVDs are on their way to Fatale. We expect them to be available by November 15th. So stay tuned. As soon as they’re in stock, you’ll know.

Meanwhile, if you haven’t see Courtney Trouble’s Roulette and Nostalgia, check them out.

Roulette is a mix of scenes that range from an opening scene lovemaking between a real-life lesbian couple to a music video by Emilie Jouvet to the wee hours milk binge.

Nostalgia gives a nod to the late Marilyn Chambers, and Courtney Trouble’s tongue-in-cheek humor comes through in this queer parody.  There are trailers on both these pages too.

And when you buy Roulette and Nostalgia together and you’ll save 15%. The pair makes a good gift.

Yours in good love and sex,

Halloween is one of our favorite times of the year, because we can play dress-up! We’ve dressed up now and then on past Halloweens, and sometimes during the year too, but this year we thought we’d just watch other people dress up and have sex.

Our favorite dress-up sex DVDs are Sugar High Glitter City–voted “Best Lesbian Porn” by LesbianLife.About.com–and Courtney Trouble’s Nostalgia.

The discerning judges at LesbianLife.About.com wrote about S.I.R. Video’s Sugar High Glitter City starring Shar Rednour: “A delightful combo of hot filth and pseudo-sci-fi…”

Nostalgia is another beast altogether. The doctor and nurse dress-up scenes are by turns funny and frightening in only a way that a true parody can be scary.

The staged lesbian threeway…kind of a performance art parody…starts the action, and Courtney Trouble just takes it from there.

We urge you to have some fun this Halloween too. Especially because it’s a Saturday night, you can stay up all night long guilt-free, sleep in on Sunday and just plain enjoy your sweetheart.

Do gay girls like anal? We’ve been surprised at how many people are trying to find the answer to this pressing question.

In our experience, lesbians like most anything, assuming the act is approached with a level of communication and not just plunged in. If you get our drift… There are a lot of options down there, and women are no different than anyone else when it comes to enjoying sex.

We’re headed to Washington, D.C., next weekend to see Christi’s sister and her wife. Yes, you read that right. They got married in Massachusetts last summer and are now hosting a weekend-long party for friends and family. Too bad we just missed the March on Washington.

We always figured we’d get married…and then we realized we already were—in spirit and form and function. Our rings still do mean something and represent our decade-plus commitment to each other.

Does this mean some lesbians simply want sex and others need and/or want marriage and others just want to watch episodes of The L Word? Nothing against The L Word, mind you. Or maybe all three?

Courtney Trouble wrote a good piece exploring these notions in “Hot ’n’ Heavy” for this month’s issue of Curve Magazine.

Courtney Trouble is a new voice on the scene of queer porn and erotic exploration. Two new DVDs show her imagination and sensibility, and are now available at Fatale!

Courtney Trouble’s Roulette is a good starting point to getting into Courtney’s groove. Her humor comes through as well as her keen eye. The first scene in Roulette is a tender real-life-lovers lesbian scene. There is a trailer on this page – http://www.fatalemedia.com/videos/roulette.html – so check it out!

If you like Full Load and The Crash Pad and its subsequent series, you’ll like Courtney Trouble’s Roulette.

Also directed by Courtney Trouble, Nostalgia is a tongue-in-cheek (not that kind of cheek!) exploration of the early days of porn. Trouble features all manner of butches, femmes and other dykes. There is one disturbing scene in here, but in our opinion it is redeemed by the sexy fourway romp between two big girls and their girlfriends.

Good deal: When you buy Roulette and Nostalgia together and you’ll save 15%.

We were thrilled to have Deborah Sundahl, creator of How to Female Ejaculate: Find Your G-Spot and Female Ejaculation for Couples, come to visit yesterday, one stop on her female ejaculation tour as she prepares to head off to Canada and Europe later in the month.

Deborah is also the female ejaculation expert who writes the “Ask Fanny Fatale” Q&A column for this blog.

Nan and Deb sat out in the garden for while, then came back for a dinner of baked pasta and mozzarella before Deb headed off to her lecture on female ejaculation at the local sex shop.

We found these pictures of Nan and Deb taking a hike up in the mountains, from earlier this summer when we last saw Deb.

This weekend, Deborah is off to Austin, Texas, for more female ejaculation workshops, then she plans to return for another few days’ visit come Monday. We’re happy to have her here!

If you have a question for Ask Fanny about the G-spot or female ejaculation, send it to askfanny at fatalemedia.com and put “Ask Fanny question” in the subject line.

To see the latest Deborah Sundahl’s latest DVD about female ejaculation, check out Female Ejaculation: The Workshop.

“Kick open that door to your temple and let people in!”

So says Karen Williams, and watching once again her 2008 live show from the Knitting Factory in Hollywood is a good wakeup call.

We say yes! It’s time. Forget that moan-and-groan, I-don’t-wanna-have-sex attitude. Sex is good, and good for you. Sex is fun. Sex is real.

So quit whimpering and get inspired. Dress up. Get loose. Strap on. Try something you’ve never tried before.

And if you need some true inspiration, watch a sexy DVD. You won’t regret it.

Yours in good love and sex,

Nan & Christi

I remember Fanny Fatale doing “Stripping for Your Lover” classes back before every reality star on Earth was installing a pole in her living room. I was at my son’s preschool the other day and all the straight moms were discussing which pole-dancing class to take! They were actually embarrassed that the new mom on the block (me) overheard them. Hilarious.

Dancing to entice your prey is so sexy. My favorite part of One Night Stand is the beginning when they are dancing at the club and end up in a hot bathroom make-out. I love it.

In Hard Love we have a femme Renee stripping for a butch and–I think the first ever butch (Devon) to strip on screen. You can easily watch her moves for tips on how to do this at home. She is not perfect–I actually taught her in the moment on set. And that is a good learning tool.

The pros make it look easy, then you try it and fall down getting off your panties!

Tip 1: Don’t wear panties. Joking. Lie down on your back and stretch your legs above your head to take off your panties. Butches or masculine folks: have your babe or boi pull down your briefs for you to find a big surprise waiting!

I find the anticipation of sex one of the best ways to get yourself eaten alive.

Tip 2: When doing a striptease, judge your audience. Is your lover (or lovers) going to be able to sit there and wait until the show is over with? Try tying her up to a kitchen chair (with no arms) with your bathrobe sash if think she is going to scoop you up and carrying you off to bed before the show is over with. Did you see how Renee and Devon ravaged each other after the heat factor went up from the stripping?

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING–what’s so bad about being dragged off to bed before the tease is done? Or better yet thrown right down and fucked silly right there on the floor? Well, it is better. If you make them wait, and squirm, and salivate, and make their fists open and close, fingers and cocks rising waiting. Trust me. It’s better.

Tip 3: For those wearing combat boots or any boots: Untie or loosen your laces before you get started. Our PA loved loosening Johnny Fremont’s (Devon’s) laces. I had to slap her to get her out of the shot.

Tip 4: Front-closure bras. That does help.

Tip 5: Zippers not buttons. Whether it’s a long zipper down your back that you need help with or a dykedick hiding under Levi’s fly.

Note: intermediates and pros can handle some buttons of course. Just practice. When there’s no time, grab the clothes with zippers. And if they stick–be prepared to lose the dress forever because you’ll want to just rip it off!

Bonus Tip: You don’t need a pole to strip for your lover.
